Create!print Electronic Forms Server for Windows NT Can Now Fax and Archive.

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 1998--Create!print of America, Tuesday announced a new version for Create!print for Windows NT, an advanced client/server electronic forms system from Create!print International, a leader in electronics forms software (EFS).

"With Create!print for Windows NT, the power and control of the industry's best, easy-to-use electronic forms software is not limited to AS/400 and UNIX users," said Ron Cohen, president of Create!print of America. "NT users can now experience Create!print's no application changes benefits to generate high-quality forms efficiently and at a low-cost to print, fax and archive."

Create!print for Windows NT can be used as an enterprise forms server for Windows and non-Windows applications running on clients, servers or other networked systems such as AS/400, Mainframe, UNIX and VAX.

Create!print consists of three easy-to-use components: Create!form(TM), Create!tools(TM) and Create!merge(TM).

Create!form is a versatile design and graphics package for creating and viewing forms. With Create!form users have the ability to place, style and shade printed data, text and graphical objects anywhere on the page to create the exact document desired -- right down to the formatting of individual words.

It offers the ability to link and maintain all common information such as logos and addresses to one subform file. When a change of address or logo is required, users update a single form, as opposed to each and every individual form. This insures that all forms will share the same information. This feature not only saves the user time but also eliminates the costs involved with the creation and purchase of new forms stationery.

Create!tools is used to define the controls used by Create!merge to produce output for print, fax or archive. It consists of four main tools: DataMaps, StyleSheets, Preview Merge and Transfer Facility.

The DataMap is an electronic window onto the data page that allows the user to further define what is to appear on the output. It allows users to map data from locations on the page to predefined locations on the form, and includes conditional recognition of print data areas. Datamapping essentially defines what data is to be printed, eliminating the need for changes to the application program. How the data is positioned and the style of the defined data, is determined in Create!form.

The StyleSheet is the overall form project description, defining which forms and DataMaps will be combined for output. Within StyleSheets, conditional chaining from one form to another is easy, allowing users to emulate any document print requirement including multi-part forms. StyleSheets also specify page orientation, duplex printing, multiple print sets, images per page, input/output tray selection, fax address and more.

Once a StyleSheet is specified, the Preview Merge feature processes the print data using the StyleSheet instructions and produces an exact image of the final output, including multiple form sets, on screen using Adobe Acrobat. This allows users to preview all aspects of the form project which assists users in ensuring accuracy and proper layout. The preview merged output can then be routed to the user department as a PDF file and viewed on screen for approval before implementation.

The Transfer Facility will then take all parts of the form project (forms, DataMaps, StyleSheets and other resources) and move them to the correct locations used by the Create!merge print engine. This entire process is completed with a few easy clicks of the mouse.

Create!merge, a resident merge printing engine, retrieves the forms, StyleSheets, DataMaps and any other resources required from the NT server. It selects what is necessary for a successful form merge and sends the output file to the printer, fax or archive as required. The merge engine reads the spool file from the NT print queue, merges form and data, and sends it directly to the printer in one seamless operation.

This entire process is transparent to the user and is fully automated. With the enhanced features of Create!print for Windows NT the costs of production, labor and inventory are cut in half.
